Tunisia Vacations

Tunisia is perhaps best known for its beautiful sandy beaches and large choice of water sports, but it also attracts amateur archaeologists from all over the world. The country is dotted with ruins of Roman cities and amphitheatres. You can visit the ruins of ancient Carthage, north of Tunis, where there are fine examples of the Punic civilization. For those who want something more strenuous, desert trekking is very popular, either by 4X4 or on the back of a camel. There are plenty of desert activities on offer such as dune karting and dune skiing. Visit the medina in Tunis and wander though the dozen or so marvellous souks. Kairouan is a holy city and is full of beautiful mosques and minarets, several of which are open to the public outside prayer times.
